Pediatrics Residency at Metropolitan
The New York Medical College Pediatrics Residency at Metropolitan Hospital Center is more than its 50 years of history of teaching and discovery, more than the wisdom and passion of our faculty. Metropolitan Hospital Center is a place for you to become a skilled and knowledgeable clinician, a lifelong advocate for children in your community, and whose goal is to promote the health and well-being of the children of our region and around the world.
The residents are also trained in all fields of subspecialty pediatrics to enable them to participate as team members in the care of patients with chronic and complex disorders. Residents are given abundant opportunities to work with other members of the health care team in both inpatient and ambulatory settings to become competent as leaders in the organization of management of patient care.
Our Program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and our program strictly observes both New York State Code 405 regulations and the Resident Review Committee (RRC) regulations regarding resident work hours and supervision.
